CALL ISSUED FDD MEMBERS The Standard Game Law Prohibiting the Sale of Game and Licensing Hunters to Be Passed. Atlanta, Ga. —A movement is being started to form an organization of the leading sportsmen of the state for the purpose of passing suitable game laws and to see that the law is enforced when passed. Charles T. Hopkins of Atlanta has Interested himself in this movement, and, with three others, has issued a card to the sportsmen of Georgia to co-operate in the movement. The game law now in force in Ala bama, which is known as the stand ard game law, is the one that Mr. Hopkins and his associates are hoping to pass. The first purpose of this law is to prohibit the sale of game in the state, thus stopping the promiscuous shooting of game. The other principal features of the act are to fix a license of $1 on the residents of a county for a gun, and sls license on a non-resi dent; to have all lands posted, so that a hunter cannot shoot on the tenant’s land without hisi written permission. The law lias been in vogue in the state of Alabama for the past two years, and has proven a success. The following card has been issued to the sportsmen of Georgia and all who are interested in this matter and want to see the game of the state pro tected, can become a member of the organization by sending their names to Charles L. Davis, Warm Springs, Ga., the secretary of the new association: To the Sportsmen of Georgia: Eacii of you realize that our game is rapidly vanishing to the extermination point —a result due to insufficient laws and the indifference of those interested. Only a little active, intelligent co operation of the real sportsmen is needed to correct the evil. If you are willing to give a few mo ments of your time to the procure ment of better laws and a more rigid enforcement of them, when obtained — whereby there may be game in plenty for all—then send a post card, with your name and address to Charles L. Davis, Warm Springs, Ga. He will act as present chairman and secretary for the Georgia Game Protective Association, and will pro ceed promptly to perfect a preliminary organization of Georgia sportsmen to the end above indicated. Please call your brother sportsman’s attention to this communication. Chas. T. Hopkins, Atlanta; Seaton Grant land, Griffin; Charles Woolfolk, Co lumbus; Charles L. Davis, Warm Springs. COTTON SEED CRUSHERS DAY At State Fair in Atlanta Was a Great Success. Atlanta. Ga. —President W. H. Mc- Kenzie of the Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association of Georgia, through Sec retary Fielding Wallace of Augusta, Issued a call for the members of the association, representing every cotton seed oil mill in Georgia, to meet in Atlanta on Monday, October lth, to celebrate “Cotton Seed Crush ers’ Day at the state fair. Asa re sult, over five hundred members of the State and Interstate Associations were present on that occasion to en joy the exercises at the state fair, the luncheon was served on the grounds and a smoker was given that night at the New' Kimball, when a number of short talks w'ere made by the guests present. A large delegation attended from Albany, headed bv R- G. Riley; from Dawson, headed by J. H. Fulford; from Montezuma, head ed by President McKenzie; from Sa vannah, headed by G. T. Tennille ; from Macon, headed by W. E. McCaw; from Carrollton, headed by J. A. Ay cock; from Augusta, headed by Secre tary Wall^pe. At the state fair the Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association has arranged a most attractive exhibit. It is located in the garicultural hall. There, in charge of E. R. Ravenel, is shown all the products of the cotton seed, run ning through lint, 1 inters, hulls, meal, crude oil, refined oil, soap stock, com pounds for shortening and the various articles made from these products. On either side of the exhibit are cooking booths where cotton seed oil com pound is used as a shortening instead of lard. CONVICTS IN DEMAND. Various Counties Throughout the State Ask for Prisoners. Atlanta, Ga. —Letters received from various counties over the state by the prison commission indicate that all of the misdemeanor convicts now on hand will be taken, the officials of fifteen counties having signified their willingness to take this class of con victs. The letters in reply to inqui ries sent out show that the counties will take from six to fifty each. Similar letters have been received in answ’er to inquiries as to the fel ony convicts, and the prison commis sion officials are of the opinion that all of the felony convicts will be dis posed - of in this manner. Within a short time the commission will have 600 misdemeanor convicts on its hands when the wild cat camps go out of business on November 1, and it is be lieved that all of these will be taken by the various counties. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. For the better advertising of Augus ta’s great resources before the world the chamber of commerce of that city will issue a booklet descriptive of the many advantages that are to be found in the Queen City of the Savannah river valley. Pensions for the fourth quarter are not expected by Bibb county veterans until about the first of December. Those who have called upon Ordinary Wiley for information concerning the payment of the fourth installment have been told that the money would be sent as soon as it could be se cured by the commission. Ordinary John R. Wilkinson of Ful ton county issued a marriage license to two well known old colored people of Atlanta, namely, Isaac Bell, aged 7G, and Sallie Craig, aged 86. It was stated by both parties to the ap proaching contract that they had been sweethearts since childhood, but that unfortunate circumstances had pre vented their union before this time. Collections by the receivers of the Exchange bank of Macon were slow during the month of September, as the monthly report which was filed in the superior court gives less than $4,000 as the amount taken in during the month. This means that another dividend is not yet in sight unless col lections grow more rapidly and a smaller dividend is declared. So far the bank has paid 65 per cent of its indebtedness and hopes to bring the amount up to at least 75 before the end of the year. After a consultation with attorney General Hart Secretary of State Phil Cook has announced that the election managers in the national election are required by law to make two sep arate returns, one to the governor and another to the secretarw of state. Ac cording to the law as interpreted by the two officials, the managers will be required to make returns for elec tors and congressmen to the govern or, while returns for the vote on con stitutional amendments must be made to the secretary of state. The prison commission has been notified of the escape of Jim Council, a convict, from the Durham coal mines, in North Georgia. Council was sentenced from Bibb county, for a term of fifteen years for burglary. With Oliver Brown he made his es cape by climbing through the air shaft of the mine during the working hours. Brown was captured before getting beyond the range of the guards. Macon will be better off next year with the additional convicts that will be secured from the state as a result of the passage of the anti-lease bill. Heretofore Bibb county has been get- forty-five convicts from the year, but the new reg- give the county fifty or more. ShcWfe^y^lie smaller counties not Want iro rata share of convicts Bibb in an applica tion for more of will be needed badly in road btM|gte*and in making other improvement^rs!%U ■*. John A. Betjeman of retarv of the committee in the arrangements for the southern dust rial and commercial congress, which meets in Washington, D. C., in December, is in Columbus in the in terest of the project. He has already taken up the matter of Columbus’ rep resentation with leading members of the board of trade, and it is hoped that interest in the congress will be ai oused. Ben L. Jones of Macon who receiv ed word that he is the heir of a for tune amounting to $200,000 from his uncle, Nat Jones, in Arkansas, has left for the west to look after his in terests in the estate. A letter was re ceived at Macon stating that Nat Jones, who was a brother of Ben L. Jones,’ father, had died leaving the vast fortune and that Mr. Jones of Macon was the only heir. The Munson Steamship line has brought suit against the South Atlan tic Car and Manufacturing company of Waycross for $36,000, claiming this amount for alleged loss in their prep aration to handle a shipment of three hundred cars from Savannah to Pana ma. The car company had a contract about two years ago with the United States government for threje hundred flat cars for use on the Panama rail road, but owing to the destruction of the Savannah plant by fire had to can cel the contract. The steamship com pany claims in its suit that they had arranged to handle the cars from Sa vannah to Colon, and want judgment for not only $36,000, but interest thereon for nearly two years. The case will come up for trial before Judge Emory Speer. Valdosta, at the next term of United States court. Macon hopes to secure the Wirz monument to add to her present col lection and if she is successful it will be placed at the corner of Cotton ave nue and the triangular block, near the Commercial bank building. The selec tion of the city in which the monu ment is to be placed is in the of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and at the annual reunion of the or ganization in Savannah, some city will be picked out. Macon stands a splendid chance of getting the monu ment because of the splendid site that can be used. An election for municipal officers for the town of Martin for the ensu ing year was held resulting as fol lows: L. V. Matherson, mayor; J. M. Walters, T. J. Young, W. B. Mitchell. G. U. Nelms, H. A. Rankin, council men. There was quite an interesting race for mayor between L. V. Mather son and R. F. Garner, the only candi dates for that office, resulting in a ma fority of four for Matheson.
